Despite being the second- and third-longest labels in the infobox, the labels for the "construction started" and "construction stopped" parameters are unique in this template in using {{nowrap}} to prevent them from wrapping. This is in contrast to numerous shorter multi-word labels in the same template. As a result, when the infobox is used in its standard width, the labels take up nearly half the width of the box, leaving little space for the actual content. Could the {{nowrap}}s be removed? The necessary code is as follows:
This could be deliberate. The point of nowrapping the longest labels is that everything shorter is automatically not wrapped, since they are shorter. This is a commonly used trick in bulleted lists in infoboxes: nowrap the longest item, and everything else is on a single line by default. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:32, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Where that technique is used for content in an infobox in a particular article, that can make sense. I've even implemented that in bulleted lists myself many a time. But as not all parameters of an infobox are used in every article (and in the case of this infobox, a typical building article doesn't make use of the vast majority of parameters), one can't assume that shorter labels wouldn't wrap. In the article I was working on most recently, for instance, two other labels would wrap were construction_start_date not included (though the infobox would nonetheless be shortened substantially as there would be less content wrapping). So I don't see how the inclusion of {{nowrap}} could have been a deliberate choice intended for the entire infobox template as opposed to an ad hoc measure implemented inconsistently.

That may be an argument for more labels to be nowrapped, rather than fewer. In any event, It appears that the nowrap was added in October 2012, and I don't see a discussion about it at Template talk:Infobox building/Archive 1, so here we are. I'm fine with removing the nowrap; I just wanted to ensure that editors reading this page understood that there might be a reason for it and had a chance to give their opinions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:29, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I can certainly imagine an argument for more labels to be nowrapped rather than fewer, specifically an argument for some of the shorter ones to be nowrapped. With a label of this length, however, nowrapping tends to lead both to squished content and to needlessly longer infoboxes more often than not, in my experience. But I definitely don't mind giving others a chance to weigh in first on the off-chance that someone has misgivings. Graham (talk) 06:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adding "Weight" data and label on the Infobox building.[edit]
Hello. Could you please add "Weight"? Bonthefox3 (talk) 06:07, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why? (and if you are thinking of e.g. the ISS, it would have to be mass as it is weightless right now). 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:42, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible to add a singular version of the "current tenants" label, for buildings with a single tenant (like headquarters)? Thanks! WikiFouf (talk) 16:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
